PLEASE yourself how you have it. / Take my words, and fling / Them down on the counter roundly; / See if they ring.
Sift my looks and expressions, / And see what proportion there is / Of sand in my doubtful sugar / Of verities.
Have a real stock-taking / Of my manly breast; / Find out if I'm sound or bankrupt, / Or a poor thing at best.
For I am quite indifferent / To your dubious state, / As to whether you've found a fortune / In me, or a flea-bitten fate.
Make a good investigation / Of all that is there, / And then, if it's worth it, be grateful-- / If not then despair.
If despair is our portion / Then let us despair. / Let us make for the weeping willow. / I don't care.
